I Wonder

This was a class assignment for a poetry book back in May 2004. We had to do ten poems, and one of mine was a sonnet. Hope you enjoy.

- I Wonder -

Long blonde hair, dusty blue eyes
I wonder what’s in her that I can’t be
Makeup covered face, a clever disguise
Is she pretty? Prettier than me?
I wonder if he’s kissed her
Held her hand so gently, so tight
Wanting to hear her voice, for sure
Calling her house so late at night
I wonder if he holds her in his arms
Speaking softly into her ear
Laying on his silky smooth charm
Whispering, “I wish you were always here”
If he says “I Love You” it better be true
He’s cheated me, he won’t be cheating you
